After our BBQ four of us headed off for a fantastic concert celebrating the music of Marc Bolan and T.Rex leaving Mary with the few remaining guests.

Quote
This September, friends and fans of Marc Bolan will take to the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire stage to celebrate his musical legacy. The show will be hosted by Noddy Holder and Lynsey de Paul, featuring T.Rex producer Tony Visconti, T.Rex fans Marc Almond and Boy George, John's Children band-mate Andy Ellison, T.Rex saxophonist Howie Casey, glam-rock contemporaries Alvin Stardust and Steve Harley, Level 42 Mike Lindup, Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, Linda Lewis plus many more to be announced. All the performers will be supported by the official Marc Bolan tribute band T.Rextasy with Danielz.
The last one of these was five years ago in 2007 Marc Bolan - a celebration. This was much the same but bigger and better with more guest stars.

I took the still pictures above - 20120915-trextasy, a set on Flickr - however a surprising number of people of people have uploaded video recordings to YouTube.
